Chapter 497: Suing the Government
Xu Zhichun's move was like pouring a bucket of water into a frying pan, instantly confusing everyone!
“.”
“This, this, this!”
"What does Madam Wuxuanhou mean?"
"I think Earl Rong'an must have made a mistake. Otherwise, how could the wife of Marquis Wuxuan behave like this? It doesn't make sense."
"I also think that Lord Rong An must have made a mistake. Otherwise, how could a daughter be so unwilling to acknowledge her ancestral roots and instead sue her biological father to the authorities? It doesn't make sense!"
"right!"
"No wonder there was no news about this before."
"But what is Lord Rong'an trying to achieve by doing this? Is he trying to make enemies with the Marquis Wuxuan's Mansion?"
"Young Miss Xue was deposed in the palace and reduced to a commoner, under house arrest for life. Marquis Rong'an has become Earl Rong'an, while the Marquis Wuxuan's mansion is flourishing. I heard that Marquis Wuxuan's wife has a very good relationship with the Empress, and his adopted sister is married to Lord Ji. What do you think Earl Rong'an wants?"
"Ah, that does make sense."
"That's what I think!"
“.”
Everyone felt as if they had suddenly been enlightened.
Yes, otherwise, the wife of Marquis Wuxuan has been in Beijing for so long, and there was no news of her wanting to recognize her relatives before. Now that the Rong'an Earl's Mansion has fallen on bad luck and Lord Ji has married into the Wuxuan Marquis' Mansion, they jumped out.
It's still the same old game of acting first and reporting later - they haven't even acknowledged each other yet, but they spread the news first and made a solemn promise, and the whole city knew about it.
What is this about? Isn't it just to force the wife of Wuxuanhou?
But they didn't think about it. Can such a thing be forced? If you're not someone's father, why do you insist on being someone else's father? Who would be willing to do that?
No wonder the wife of Marquis Wuxuan was so angry that she didn't hesitate to take the case to court.
Lord Rong'an was really getting old and confused. He must have recognized the wrong person. Lady Wuxuanhou explained to him again and again, but he refused to listen. Now, a quarrel broke out.
The Rong'an Marquis's Mansion was on the decline, so they resorted to all sorts of tricks in a desperate situation.
In the mansion of Earl Rong'an, Earl Rong'an felt a pain in his heart and almost fainted when he heard the news.
"That bitch, she actually sued me, she actually sued me, her father! Isn't she afraid of being struck by lightning?"
"Unfilial daughter! Unfilial daughter!"
Mrs. Rong Anbo is also very hard to describe.
What is going on?
Even if the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion recognized the person, it would still be a complete loss of face.
Aunt Bai and Bai Jinfu were also surprised when they learned that Xu Zhichun had such a relationship with the Rong'an Earl's Mansion. The mother and daughter hated Xu Zhichun very much, but at the same time they secretly hoped that she would be recognized as soon as possible.
Once she returns to her ancestral home, Aunt Bai will become her elder and will force her to get her son back.
Otherwise it would be disrespectful to elders and unfilial!
Let's see how her husband can still gain a foothold in the court.
"When she comes, I'll show you how I'll torture her!"
Aunt Bai was furious and eager to try. She couldn't wait any longer and countless ways to deal with Xu Zhichun flashed through her mind.
There are plenty of reasons and ways for elders to criticize their juniors.
Before this, Xu Zhichun was the marquis' wife, and she was just a merchant's wife, so naturally she had no way to deal with her. However, when Xu Zhichun became a daughter of the Xue family, things were different.
Although Aunt Bai felt that Xu Zhichun's transformation from a peasant girl to the eldest daughter of a wealthy family was a real honor for her, and that she had taken advantage of him, she was also quite unhappy.
Unexpectedly, people don’t care at all!
He even went so far as to sue the authorities for this.
Aunt Bai and her daughter were both confused by her.
Aunt Bai couldn't help but run to Lady Rong'an and said, "Sister, is Xu really the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family? Could we be mistaken? I've always said that, she doesn't look like the eldest daughter of the Marquis' family at all!"
The wife of the Marquis of Rong'an was really upset about this. She was extremely upset when she heard this, but she remained calm and asked, "Why do you think so?"
Aunt Bai blurted out: "Isn't this obvious? Otherwise, how would she dare to report it to the authorities?"
Mrs. Rong Anbo was extremely upset: "."
If even his own sister thought so, it was easy to imagine that everyone in the capital would think the same thing! They all felt that the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion had made a mistake and had made a huge joke. Who knew how people would ridicule and laugh at them behind their backs.
Lady Rong'an sneered, "I was hoping it was fake! But it's true! How can you joke about something like this? My uncle and I are not that foolish!"
Aunt Bai didn't understand, "But how could that be, how could that be—"
Is there anyone who would rather be a peasant girl than a daughter of a wealthy man?
Mrs. Rong'an was too lazy to explain to her because it was too painful.
"Just wait!"
“.”
Before the couple could come up with a good way to resolve the matter, someone from the Shuntian Prefecture government arrived.
The one who came was Captain Lin, who brought a group of officers with him. He spoke politely, but every word he said was enough to make people angry to death.
"Today the prefect is opening a court hearing. He must reach a conclusion on this matter. Please, sir, accompany me."
Rong Anbo's face turned pale: "What do you mean by Shuntian Mansion? I won't go!"
"Please don't embarrass me, my Lord. Marquis Wuxuan and his wife are already waiting at the Shuntian Prefecture government office. As the defendant, you must be present."
The implication is that the Marquis and his wife have already gone, so how could you not go? If you don't go, what else would that mean except a guilty conscience? Are you, a mere baron, more valuable than the Marquis?
Rong Anbo was almost mad to death. That damn Xu Zhichun
He gritted his teeth and decided to go. He had to go!
Otherwise, you would think he is afraid or guilty.
"Humph, I was going to give that rebellious girl some face, but since she doesn't want it, forget it."
The two sides went to court.
The identities and status of both the plaintiff and the defendant involved in this case were not comparable to those of ordinary people. Even though the case was tried, it was not open to the public, but was held in the back hall of the Shuntian Prefecture government office.
Everyone took a seat.
Shuntian Prefecture Yi, the secretary and others were all present, but the atmosphere was quite harmonious, not like a trial but more like a mediation.
In fact, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture had been complaining in his heart for a long time, thinking, why do you, the King of Hell, have to drag a little devil like me into trouble when you are fighting?
How can he be qualified to try such a case?
Xu Zhichun and Liang Minglang looked calm and confident, while Rong Anbo had a sullen face and eyes that were almost spitting fire.
Shuntian Prefecture Governor coughed and said: "My Lord, Madam, and Lord, could there be some misunderstanding here? Today is a good time for everyone to talk things out and the matter will be resolved, right? Hehe."
Rong Anbo stared at Xu Zhichun intently and sneered, "There is no misunderstanding! Xu, I didn't know you were such a cruel and cold-blooded person. I really misjudged you. You were lost as a child. It was an accident. No one expected this to happen. How could you hate me so much!"
